ATI PowerModule

Found one with a local reefer for a good price. Are they really worth it? Especially over a 120g. Oh, this is the 10 bulb version.

I'm too lazy to do a search, so anyone have pictures of a 10bulb ATI PM over a regular 120 4x2x2?

That would work out great. Even for SPS. You could even go to the 8 bulb on the 120gal.

If you don't mind my asking what main pump are you using?

Main pump?? Are you asking what pump I'm using for my return(s)?

If that's your question, I'm using a Reeflo Blackfin 1800. It's super quiet, a lot cooler than the Darts. Runs ~1600gph (still too much), but I've created a manifold and feed my media reactor (carbon) and skimmer (reeflo 200)

I will post a pic later tonight of my ATI 8 bulb over a my 120, same dimensions. By the way that is an incredible light fixture and the colors you can produce with mixing the T-5's is awesome

My Grandparents are from Belington WV, was just back there a couple months ago.

Yes they are really worth it.

Take Care

In your opinion, is the Reef Flo Dart Gold too much flow? I am trying to decide between the Reef Flo Dart Gold, Snapper Gold or the Iwaki MD100RLT.

Thanks

Airborne,

Think about your setup and what you could be using or will be using in the near future. I think the Reeflo pumps are just a little excessive if only being used exclusively for a return pump (you could get away with a eheim 1262 or mag 9.5/12).

If you're looking to use the return to create a manifold to feed other equipment (calcium reactor, media reactor, etc. etc.) I think you could get away with the snapper, though it may be a little too much for your system.
